Commitment is the enemy of resistance, for it is the serious promise to press on, to get up, no matter how many times you are knocked down.
~ David McNally

A promise ring is the material symbol of commitment to an emotionally intimate relationship. It signifies that the love that you share has solidified your faith in each other to such an extent that now you are ready and eager to socially commit and share the rest of your lives together, accepting one another for who they are and the way they are. Also known as pre-engagement rings, promise rings are a sign that engagement and wedding would follow in close succession. While a lot of options are available with respect to metal and design (simple circlets, gemstone mounted, intricate metal crafting, etc.), a very popular trend that appears to be emerging these days is the preference for engraved promised rings, crafted after the fashion of the classic engraved wedding rings designs. So, what all can you get engraved on the limited surface (inner or outer) area of a simple metallic circlet? Take a look at the engraved promise ring ideas laid out in the following segment and you'll be swept off your feet by all the variety you can choose from!
